TREK1000: Two-Way-Ranging (TWR) RTLS IC Evaluation Kit
TREK1000 Overview
The IC Evaluation Kit for Two-Way-Ranging (TWR) RTLS (Real Time Location Systems) enables users to evaluate the
performance of DecaWave’s DW1000 Ultra-Wideband (UWB) IC in RTLS application use cases based on various
topologies.
The superior location and tracking accuracy of the DW1000 can be compared to other wireless technologies.
Customers of the TREK1000 receive access to all software source code which can be used as a starting point for
developing their own products.
Target Applications
Logistics, Asset-Tracking, Factory Automation
Geo-Fencing, Safety & Security, Smart Homes
Indoor Navigation, Robotics, Sports
